Service Canada Centre for Youth opens on North Shore

Youths and employers looking for summer students should note
that Service Canada Centre for Youth opened an office on the North Shore this
week.

Service Canada Centres for Youth assist young people with
resumes, cover letters and interview skills, as well as provide information on
federal government programs and services, wage rates and employment standards.
For employers, SCCYs offer job posting services on the Internet and in the
office, providing access to hundreds of students.

“Whatever the job — big or small, short- or long-term
— we can help you fill it,” Nicole Caulfield, supervisor of the SCCY,
said in a release.

“In the coming weeks, Youth Services Officers will be
contacting local employers to make them aware that our SCCY is now open and
ready to assist them in any way possible.”

The North Shore SCCY opened Tuesday, May 29 at 104A-267 West
Esplanade. Hours of operation are Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday to
